Everyone should keep in mind that when doing anything with Linux command line and you get “Operation Not Permitted” or any other error with similar wording, that you should add “sudo” in front of the command. There’s no need to log in as root and is a pain in the butt to get enabled for the first time. It also poses a security risk for your system. So remember, just add “sudo”!

I can usually use putty to manage from a remote PC / Netbook and was trying to get the point across any details about the transfer by FTP (uploading is disabled by default in Ubuntu) and I know of no Ubuntu package for SourceMod. You can directly download SourceMod / metamod but in most of the instructions do say to remove the first time since the zip file then upload. The article says it is fairly easy. I would say that for anyone with little experience in Linux. I found this looking for ways to run TF2 as a service and still no luck. 10.4, and 10.10 I have loaded on two servers and both give me an invalid command to execute
sudo / etc / init.d / srcds start
/ Etc / init.d / srcds gives me permission errors
I tried to load this using a root account and user account.

I really think that steam accounts make a lot of problems and aren’t really worth the money. I am looking for alternatives right now, so are there any other options?

Note: if you receive a ‘uncompress: command not found’ message it means your server does not have uncompress installed. You have two options to easily work around this, try the following while logged-in as root:
code:

ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress

Then try to run ./hldsupdatetool.bin again. If that does not work, or you do not have root privileges you can download the binary file we have available:
code:

wget http://www.cstrike-planet.com/dls/steam

Now that you have the steam binary file, Type the following command to begin installing CS Source
code:

chmod +x steam
./steam -command update -game “Counter-Strike Source” -dir .

This will save everyone hours of frustration… as far as I have found if you are using a default fresh install of Ubuntu you will need to be logged in as root, I wasted half a night getting no where until I figured out how to login as root!

Do you know how/if I would use this with a shared library (.so) file for a hl2mp mod? (Like Zombie Master)

How about you re-write this without using sudo everywhere?

Make a new user, su into that user, do everything as non-root.

Seeing pages and pages of SUDO SUDO SUDO scares me.

Is root required?
Could I store the files in my home directory, and NOT start it as root?

I don’t have root access on the server in question.

Hi.

When you start up server you jump up into console. To get statistics just type ‘stats’ and hit enter. To see what maps You have, type ‘maps *’, to change map ‘map map_name’. There’s more like: hostname, ip, kick etc. To see what it does just type command without any parameters, and You’ll get current value and usage help. Commands are rather easy to guess, so try to find out more. Some, hmm.. ‘some’ are listed here: http://www.xdude.com/hl2dedicatedserverconsolecommands.htm

Another thing, it’s good to run server in screen, just not to have to be still logged in. Usefull packages are screen and detachtty. And ls cstrike/maps/*.bsp is sufficient

Thanks a lot for this article!

Well I think I’ve got it. The command should be “sudo chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin”. And know I get this new message “Getting version 32 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
Downloading. . . . . . . . . . . .Cannot open output file ‘LinuxHldsUpdateTool_32.pkg’
Any ideas?
